There have been loads, obviously, but these 10 wore it particularly well.

And we start off with the man who made it iconic.

Johan Cruyff - Ajax, Barcelona and Holland

The "original" No. 14, and the best.

It was just a happy accident that Cruyff ended up with his iconic number while at Ajax in 1970, as teammate Gerrie Muhren couldn't find his usual No. 7 before a match against rivals PSV.

Cruyff gave him his No. 9, went over to a basket of spare shirts and pulled out the No. 14.

He played so well in it that he decided to keep it, even forcing the Dutch national team to change their alphabetical shirt number policy for the 1974 World Cup, where he was initially supposed to be No. 1.

The Dutch national side retired the No. 14 in 2007.

Thierry Henry - Arsenal and Barcelona

After arriving at Arsenal as just a failed winger from Juventus, Frenchman Henry went on to become the Gunners' record goalscorer - all while wearing a No. 14 shirt that had previously been sported by Martin Keown.

He also took the number when he moved on to Barcelona in 2007, but took the No. 12 - also his France jersey - when he returned to Arsenal in 2012.

Xabi Alonso - Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Spain

After arriving from Real Sociedad in 2004, Alonso would immediately win over the Liverpool fans with a series of impressive midfield displays which culminated in him scoring in the 2005 Champions League final.

One of the most stylish midfielders of his generation, he also ended up eventually taking the No. 14 at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, while sporting it for Spain in their World Cup and European Championships triumphs.

David Ginola - Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa

He might not have achieved as much in the game as some of the others on this list, but there's little doubt that for a while there were few more famous footballers in the Premier League than David Ginola.

At a time when foreign players were still few and far between, Ginola lit up an entertaining Newcastle side for two seasons before a 1997 move to Tottenham, where he won the Football Writers' Player of the Year award for 1998/99.

Marco Tardelli - Italy

It's the 1982 World Cup final, Italy lead West Germany 1-0, and then...

Javier Mascherano - Barcelona and Argentina

The defensive and midfield general wore the No. 14 as he anchored Argentina to the 2014 World Cup final.

It's also been his number through four La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues at Barcelona, but he's now set to pass it over to Coutinho.

Andrei Kanchelskis - Manchester United

In the early days of squad numbers in the Premier League, flying Russian winger Kanchelskis could be seen sporting the No. 14 when he raided down the right hand side for an all-conquering Manchester United.

He was the club's top scorer in the 1994/95 season with 15 goals in 32 appearances.

N'Golo Kante - Leicester

Very few people took too much notice when Leicester signed N'Golo Kante from Caen for £5.6m in the summer of 2015, but a year later the scurrying force of nature had picked up the most unlikely of Premier League winners' medals.

He then moved on to Chelsea, where he wears No. 7.

Diego Simeone - Atletico Madrid, Internazionale and Lazio

Before he was the fiery manager of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone was a fiery midfielder for Atletico, Inter and Lazio.

Anyone who came up against his No. 14 shirt would very quickly know about it.

Guti - Real Madrid

An underrated member of the Real Madrid squad throughout the Galactico era, midfielder Guti played for the club on 542 occasions, winning five La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues.

Amazingly, he only got 13 Spain caps.

He deserved many more, but it would have been a lot more fitting if he got 14, wouldn't it?
